Raptor Technologies Reimagining School Safety

"We are committed to setting the standard for school safety software in the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond," said Gray Hall, chief executive officer of Raptor Technologies. "Raptor is reimagining the approach to school safety, paving the way for a new era where protecting students and staff is a collaborative, community-wide effort. This comprehensive approach encourages schools to embrace a broader perspective on safety, moving beyond physical and traditional boundaries to create an environment where the responsibility for safety is shared."

Encompassing multiple new products, services, and functionality improvements across its entire product portfolio, each is designed to complement each other across a common SaaS platform. New supporting mobile applications provide access to security services for both communities and staff, setting a new standard in safety excellence.

"Our integrated platform and new 2024 product lineup achieve a comprehensive range of school safety objectives, including preventive measures, emergency preparation, response, and recovery, and proactive initiatives to reduce risk," stated Chris Noell, chief product officer for Raptor Technologies. "Simply put, we're empowering schools to create safer environments with unparalleled efficiency."

Imagining a future where parents can effortlessly schedule a student's absence or check-in at large campus events with a simple tap on their phone, where on-campus violence is prevented before it even begins, and emergency response times are drastically reduced. This is the vision driving Raptor's latest innovations. In pursuit of these objectives, Raptor announces it is launching, in 2024, the following new and enhanced products:

Raptor VisitorSafe™: The next generation of Raptor Visitor Management expands the visitor experience that Raptor is known for by adding self-service options, support for new platforms (including iOS devices), a digital passport for frequent visitors, and incorporating large-scale events.
Raptor EventSafe™: Integrated with VisitorSafe or as a standalone option, EventSafe provides security for large-scale events, ticketing, and payments for both on-campus and off-campus activities.

Raptor Staff™ Mobile Application: A new mobile app enabling teachers and staff to manage dismissals, issue digital hall passes, manage student attendance, and log low-level concerns about student behavior.
Raptor DismissalSafe™: A new Raptor product line providing advanced student dismissal capabilities designed to coordinate and simplify student dismissal to buses, cars, and after-school activities while verifying that students leave with safe, approved individuals.
Raptor Station™: Expanding the capability of Raptor Emergency Management with another layer of emergency notification.
Raptor Digital Hall Pass Management: Enhances visibility and accountability for students outside the classroom.

Staff Certifications: A new service offering interactive, online training to help schools manage their safety training requirements, including proof of training completion, while also validating knowledge and comprehension.
The new Raptor Complete bundle allows Raptor customers to subscribe to all these software products in a single comprehensive license, delivered through Raptor's integrated SaaS platform.
